HTC HD2 inductive charging mod v2–now with extended battery

August 26, 2010 | By Surur

Hwangytangy9 has taken the mod of using the Palm Pre inductive cradle to charge an HTC HD2 to the next level, attaching the circuitry to an HTC HD2 extended battery for even longer away from the plug.

As cool as this look, it really made me wonder: Why did Hwangytangy9 do the mod this way, using the exyernal Micro USB port, when there are contacts right there inside the phone for this very purpose. Perhaps he was not aware that for the original Car Kit Design, a magnetic battery cover was supplied, and the three little contacts just above the SIM Card, (to the left a little) are what that battery cover used to supply crage to the battery. His design could be so much more elegant, not needing the goofy decal, the bent micro usb connector, and all that. Of course he would need to know the pin-outs for the internal contacts, but he seesm quite resourseful, I imagine he could get this info somewhere. I wonder, did he even KNOW about the car kit, which, by the way, used inductive charging, but was redesigned at the last minute for a much more conventional kit (which I own) I wish they had kept the original design, whatever glitches it may have had!
